There are a later set at Christ Church, Higher Bebington, Wirral - 27th
May 1920. Information originally supplied to me by Chris Pickford.

See www.wirral8.f9.co.uk/wirral/hrbebbells.htm

Purely by coincidence these are the bells which were rung at my wedding
in 1968, some 22 years before I started ringing.

"Very many thanks. Any idea of founder and date (they are not in
Warner's
1877 or 1911 catalogues, nor in Mears' 1885, 1891, 1895, 1912, 1920, and
I
don't think anyone (in England) else cast hemispherical bells as tower
instruments - or at least, advertised them ! I look forward to being
sjot
down in flames on the last point, especially in view of "Strange Sounds
from
the Belfry" !"

Taylor's? There was a set by them at a now-demolished church in Lincoln
-
full details in JRK's Lincolnshire book.

Incidentally, when were sets of hemisphericals for churches last
supplied?
The latest I know of are a set of three by Whitechapel 1914 at a church
in
York, but I haven't studied the history of said instruments in any
depth.
